SB 3027 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance of general obligation bonds for repair and renovation of Oakes African American Cultural Center.

SB 3027 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds specifically to fund repairs and renovations at the Oakes African American Cultural Center in Yazoo City. The bill directly affects the cultural center by providing dedicated state funding for its physical upkeep, without requiring new taxes or fees. Key mechanisms include bonding the state's full credit to cover costs and directing bond proceeds to a special fund for the center's renovation, with repayment secured by the state's general revenue. This is a funding authorization bill focused on infrastructure support for a specific cultural institution.
